Every Little Helps.

The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN must be per.
mitted to congratulate Secretary FairchIld
on even an approach toward the adoption
Of the sensible suggestions made by 1t as 80
the proper methods to put some OF the SUR
plus into circulation. On the 29i of Sap.
ttmher the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN con.
tained the following:
The national banks of the United States hiv"
over 5000 000, 900 Of the bonds Of the Unite !
States deposited in the treasury to 'secure ci
culation." The lowest official price fixed up
any of these bonds Is los 4.l0 dollars for etc
500, and the banks hold but o. psr cent. y.
the par value In currency. As the binds ar.
being purchased at these figures, they arc Coz
tainly safe security for their par value aud
there are now 900 in silver coin in IN
treasury against which no certificates hav
been issued Let the Secretary of the Tro4sur,
deposit in each bank enough either of th+s'
silver dollars or the certificates reprosenting
them to make up the difference between the
value oftho currency issued aud the par vatu
of the bonds. This would put over so, 900 GOO w
circulation, and some of 1t would go into ever
city and town where n national bank Is cstab.
lisbed Every section OF the country would b
benefited.
Now, we see It stated In the New Yor
Commercial Bulletin that Secretary Fair
child has decided to allow one huudre
aud ten per cent. to any New York bank
depositipg $l,O00,On0 of four per cent
bonds. IL Is understood that several Me-
York banks will accept thess terms, aud
prominent banker is quoted as saying IN
| $l00OO,000 Of treasury surplus Will b
promptly put into use 10 this way"
THIS ia u step toward the right directio

York alone, and why require a minimn
sum of 81 ,0000 900 depositeh' Ia Secret,

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: 1t seems

to initiate nature. The grand national way
should be slightly winding, thus giving
graceful outline, and affording more variety
